Does anyone still have the fence formula sheet that Genki referred to? I'm building my vanilla zoo for the PANDA contest and would benefit a lot from referencing the base fence suitability again.

You might try here; this is an old document so not sure if this will have what you are looking for.

hello guys, could anyone teach me how to make this kind of land surrounded by water that could contain animal? thanks a lot guys

I don't know Serpy's way, but mine is as follows:

1. Build a terrestrial exhibit, with space for tanks to wrap around it. Note that I'm using invisible wall here.
2. Build two tanks to wrap around the exhibit. Careful with your fence placement so that you don't accidentally swallow the land exhibit in the middle.
3. Merge the two tanks, then raise the exhibit up to their level.
4. You will notice that the connecting ramp would not form around the edge between land and water as long as you have 2 fences against each other. Delete all BUT ONE of your land fence pieces. If you delete every land fence piece the land exhibit will be turned into a tank. This is where the invisible fence comes into play.

There used to be a tutorial on building islands.

You can do it with one tank. I did it years ago for a contest either here or at ZTUF

Island in a Tank Tutorial

I remember this one, it looks great.  But you have to be sure your staff can swim, since Marine Specialist won't feed the animal on the island. The Super Hack by Jordan is what I always have in my game.  I can't remember exactly, but I'm guessing the Zookeeper will swim up and enter wherever the exhibit fence it?
